ABSTRACT
This chapter analyses the illegal activity of trafficking in human beings (THB) from a business perspective. 1 It addresses three types of THB. First, trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation relates to forced prostitution or the involuntary provision of other sex-related services, such as massage with a ‘happy ending’. Second, trafficking for the purpose of labour exploitation relates to all other types of being forced into legitimate jobs, for instance in construction, agriculture, food and catering services, and transport. Third, trafficking for the purpose of forced begging and other criminal activities relates to begging activities and to persons who are forced into committing crimes, such as property crimes and the smuggling or manufacture of narcotic drugs. 2
